Hi everyone,

I am proud to introduce my latest creation inspired by a Playmobil set :Pirates Lagoon (# 3285/ # 3938)

I didn't see the second picture on Flickr, so I guess I'll comment about it here.

Those cannons are lovely, and the CMS8 Pirate torso looks great with light flesh. In fact it looks even better than I thought it would!

I already called another creation for blogging, so I hope someone calls this one! (Darkdragon? Admiral Croissant? :pir-wink: )

Fortunately or unfortunately Playmobil seem much faster to innovate design concepts and elements into their Pirate theme, allowing to enjoy a somewhat perennial existence.  Unfortunately they LEGO Group doesn't seem to be able to mirror this success so it's great when Playmobil is a source of inspiration for LEGO MOCs.

I like how you've used the khaki plant elements in the palm tree to give the appearance of older, dead foliage.

This is a great MOC! The detail is fantastic! And some splendid photography to top it off!  :pir-classic:

First come first serve, we are a team, as long as it gets blogged.  

I honestly could mistake this for a PotC set, it looks so good.  On top of that upon closer inspection it is clear that this is of higher quality and thinking, than a standard set.  I love how you did the ground on both islands, it's a great technique. The simplicity of the islands make them look so good.  Sometimes having too much clutter overloads the MOC.  I think these two islands look perfect.

Every good MOC has one element that stands out as the most impressive part for me, the thing I want to steal adapt for my own creations. In this case, it's that tree. :pir-sweet:

The rest isn't too bad, either. :pir-grin:

Seriously, it's all amazing. :thumbup:

Shadows is looking for stalkers. Yep, you heard me right. CLICKY!

Lovely MOC,

I stil have that Playmobil set  :pir-sweet:, my nieces love to play with it.
Maybe i should make a similar MOC to have them get to play with legoes again.
Because then they can modify it!

Thanks for the post!

That's very neat that you based it off of a Playmobil set. It turned out great! :pir-classic:

It looks great and clearly time well spent...not so sure I like the palm tree in the picture; doesn't look "LEGO" enough; however all in all a wonderful MOC, couldn't be better!
